AB OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence, type and relationship to the
clinical stage of oral mucosal lesions associated with HIV infection at
the Corsini's multidisciplinary Center at the first visit. METHODS: Oral
exam were performed in one hundred and nine HIV-1 infected persons from
January to December 1993. Oral candidiasis was diagnosed on clinical
features and the resolution after antifungal therapy. RESULTS: At
baseline examination 50(46%) patients had no oral lesions, and 59(54%)
had one or more. Candidiasis was the most commun oral infection observed
in 47(80%) patients. Pseudomembranous candidiasis(40%) and Erythematous
candidiasis (34%) were the most frequent lesions. Other lesions observed
were: Linear gingival erythema(34%), Hary Leucoplakia (27%), Necrotizing
ulcerative periodontitis (20%), Angular cheilitis (10%), and oral ulcers
(8%). 73(68%) were CDC II group and 36(32%)CDC IV. 40 patients (58%)CDC
II and 10(31%)CDC IV presented without any oral lesion at the time of
the first examination. 39 of 52 patients presented CD4 lyphocyte counts
of less than 500 cells/mm3. CONCLUSIONS: Our results presented
similarities with thouse reported in other countries. Periodontal
disease is frequently observed in developing countries. Advanced stage
of HIV infection and presence of oral lesions were significantly
associated. In developing countries, where diagnostic facilities are
limited, oral lesions have an important role in predicting the diagnosis
and staging of the disease.
